MEDIA AND INFORMATION SOURCES (HOMEWORK)

1.      How do people find information that matches my needs?
                       First thing that I do is to know and list (if possible) all the things that I need to learn or research. With that, I ask or search for the most accurate sites that can be my Source. For example, for the weather, I can go directly to website of PAG-ASA. But for other topics like science, mathematics, and the like, I would search through books or search the internet for information and making sure that the source is reliable base on the factors that I have learned in Media Lit.   
      
2.      How do I choose from the wide variety of information made available by different sources?
                       We cannot deny the wide range of sources available from internet. The convenience it gives us is undeniably helpful but there are also sources that we can’t really rely on so with this circumstance, what I do is collect sources and filter it one by 
until I get all the accurate sources that I can use. With choosing the sources, I pick the ones with name and trusted.
